The SRCOS Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

该奖项支持研究生参加统计和生物统计学夏季研究会议，该会议于2015年6月7日至10日在北卡罗来纳州的卡罗莱纳海滩举行。该会议是由南部地区统计委员会（SRCOS）主办的一系列年度会议中的第51次会议。其目的是鼓励当前统计和生物统计研究思想的交流，并为进一步的研究进展提供动力和方向。该系列会议关注青年研究人员，为初级研究人员和该领域的领导者提供了极好的互动机会。会议的特点是讨论当前的研究课题，同时有专门的时间进行澄清、放大和进一步的小组非正式讨论。在该奖项提供的旅费支持下，学生将参加会议，并在海报上展示他们的研究成果，供更有经验的研究人员审查。南部地区统计委员会是一个由南部的统计和生物统计项目组成的联盟，其范围西至德克萨斯州，北至马里兰州。该协会目前在该地区15个州的45所大学设有会员项目。由SRCOS主办的2015年夏季统计学和生物统计学研究会议对来自小型地区学校的学生和教师来说尤其有价值，因为他们可以有机会参与并与该领域的国际知名领导者密切互动，而无需前往遥远的国家或国际场所。它将加强整个统计和生物统计界的研究，特别是在相对欠发达的南部地区。更多详细信息请访问会议网站http://www.uncw.edu/src2015/。

This award supports the participation of graduate students in the Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics, held in Carolina Beach, North Carolina on June 7-10, 2015. The meeting is the 51st in a series of annual conferences sponsored by the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS). Its purpose is to encourage the exchange of current research ideas in statistics and biostatistics and to give motivation and direction to further research progress. The conference series focuses on young researchers, providing excellent opportunities for interaction among junior researchers and leaders in the field. The meeting features talks on current research topics together with dedicated time for clarification, amplification, and further informal discussions in small groups. Under the travel support provided by this award, students will attend and present their research in posters to be reviewed by more experienced researchers.The Southern Regional Council on Statistics is a consortium of statistics and biostatistics programs in the South, stretching as far west as Texas and as far north as Maryland. It currently has member programs at 45 universities in 15 states in the region. The 2015 Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics sponsored by SRCOS is particularly valuable for students and faculty from smaller regional schools within driving distance, affording them the opportunity to participate and interact closely with internationally-known leaders in the field without the cost of travel to distant national or international venues. It will strengthen the research of the statistics and biostatistics community as a whole, and particularly in the relatively underdeveloped southern region.
